Why I Want to be a Teacher
I’ve seen many students become lax with their grammar and writing. With the times of technology constantly changing, I am saddened by students’ lack of a caring attitude with their writing. A lot of slang is being used in speech and writing. Simple creative misspellings in student’s text messages and e-mails have turned into their way of speaking in interviews and on jobs out of habit. I want to empower my students to speak tactfully and write correctly at all times. I want to inspire students to think of not just the now, but also their future, and how today’s short cuts can be tomorrow’s missed opportunity. Since learning and teaching changes with each generation, it inspires me to create new methods of teaching and understanding. It further inspires me to produce helpful materials and interactive applications to expand and progress any student’s thought process. The satisfaction of building a student’s confidence level and understanding fuels my motivation to teach. I want to see a bright future and the progression and understanding of knowledge. 

Why You Should Hire Me
I'm a dedicated and compassionate individual. I have the knowledge, caring, and understanding it takes to make a difference in our students' futures. I am a gentle yet stern person who will do everything in my power and then some to give others the attention they need to make them successful. I chose to teach seniors, because I want to help them cross over and be be prepared for being an adult. I know adult is a scary word, but that's what it is. They are 18 and will in a lot of instances be let out to the wild. I see myself not only as someone who will teach the students english but will also teach them a life skill that is crucial. I will be their teacher and their mentor. I will be patient and understanding. At the same time, I will be realistic and not just let them off easy. This is the step before college and/or working full time. Their has to be a bit of toughness instilled in them so they aren't completely shocked when they get in the real world. I will give them that realness and will strive everyday to prepare them for the road ahead of them. I will be there before, during, and after school for my students. Whatever it takes, I will do. I will teach in ways that students will understand and give them a realistic look at what's to come in their future and how english will play a vital role in it. media type="youtube" key="f3jl2NGPA1k" height="344" width="425"
